While upgrading my blogs to WordPress 2.5, I took the chance to sync the AdAdvantage scheme to the latest K2 svn version.
This version works fine with WordPress 2.5 (Please report any problem in the Issues page).
Go to the Google Code project page to download.
If you have problem with the Live Search or Rolling Archive giving the error message ‘No input file specified.’, look at this thread on the K2 forum.
This is what fixed it for me (not sure if this has any long term problem):
Go to Settings > Permalinks
If your setting is something like
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/
remove the last / in the Custom Structure to look like this:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%
Some simple tests show that things are working, including the ajax search and rolling archive. Old links also are working.
Try if this works for you.
Initial test show that the AdAdvantage theme works without much problem with WordPress 2.5.
This weekend I will attempt to update the SVN to the latest K2 nightly build which support WordPress 2.5.
Details posted on the project page and on Google Code page.
As mentioned before, update is slow but this theme is not dropped yet since I use it myself.
Thanks for the interest!
I tried WordPress 2.3 beta on one of my site and found that AdAdvantage didn’t work. Turned out that there are some internal changes that is fixed in K2 svn nightly.
So I updated my AdAdvantage scheme and all was fine.
The code is not packaged for download but is on the Google Code Subversion repository .
It has been a long time since the last update of AdAdvantage. In the meantime, WordPress has gone from 2.0.x to 2.1.x to 2.2.x.
Since K2 stopped supporting WordPress 2.0.x, it means that I need to first upgrade my 2.0 blogs before updating K2, thus ensuring a long procrastination.
This release is not just an update but a throws in a few improvements as well.
- First and most significant (to me at least), files and code are now hosting on Google Code. So just head over and grab the latest copy release file.
Interim update will be posted to the subversion repository, so no more waiting for the final release.
- CSS clean up.
The theme no longer use the older 3 column code but tries to maintain as close to the original K2 code as possible. (you can use WinMerge to compare).
Some adjustments to the original css are added to the scheme css so that original css is untouched.
Improvement and suggestion are most welcome, please leave a comment.
- Dropped custom sidebar codes and blocks to use sidebar widgets instead.
No reason to continue hacking the sidebar when the widget is so much easier.
- Added some dummy ad formats for placement in different locations.
Please suggest other location and placement methods. This is one area that I would like to improve on for this scheme.
To download file., just go to the project page on Google Code.
Enjoy!
